Why Did We Write This Book?

Brought to you with love by 2 final year undergraduates from SMU and NUS

We are Vincent and Grace, 2 final year undergraduates from SMU and NUS. Both of us started businesses that failed. We lost thousands of what little money we had but the real pain was the countless hours we lost - time that we could never get back.

We realized we needed to find a mentor so we spent the summer vacation of 2016 seeking out the best entrepreneurs we knew in Singapore, people who genuinely wanted to help young people like us, and we found 23 of them - combined, they have built multiple businesses amassing millions of dollars in sales and revenue.

With the guidance and help of our book advisor Christine, we wrote a book. This book you'll soon hold in your hand is a distillation of all the practical, battle-tested insights that we learnt. We sincerely hope that this book shows you a clear path forward, whichever stage you may be at.

Who is This book for?

Wantrepreneurs

You've read the books, watched countless videos, paid thousands of dollars for internet marketing courses but somehow you are overwhelmed by all the information that's out there with no idea how to actually start.

You want to actually take action to build a profitable business that gives you the freedom of time and money to be the best you can be. No fluff.

Entrepreneurs
